Some new color studies and silhouette designs.
I've got some feedback from my docent, he adviced me to make my designs more livable (give it a history, a location, a reason to live, ...) so i had to put more story in to it.

So I decided to make a brother sister relationship between the two characters I'm going to design.

So I deceided to let the tribe live in trees (higher location = more muscles as child)

These are for the brother (age around 20). I really Like A and B (they have a strong silhouette).

D is also looking nice but I think it looks too much like a super-hero in the silhouette lol.

Feedback en critics are welcome.

Some more detailed concept search for my male character.

He has now more of a backststory, the mother died during 'the great fire' when two tribes where in war.

Tueq (the male character) has burned tissue because of that, this happend when he was 8-7 years old.

He has a great fear for fire because of this trauma. He's wearing some left overs of the clothes of their mom. That he uses to hide a part of his burned tissue.

He's now around his 20's, young and looking for a female for starting a family, ...

and so on :)

Comments and Ciritcs are welcome.

Hi.

Nice concepts.
Maybe you should try to variate with more elements.
Curious wat the finals will look like!

Greetings.

Deodatus:
Thanks again for all the feedback of the past days, it really boosted up my concept.


So after tons of sketches and test drawings...
here are the final body-sketches, the female is still a little dirty, but I'm going to clean that up later. I'll post the face-sketches later.

I'm going to start rendering in photoshop, deadline is tomorrow. I hope I get a decent end-result, painting ain't my strongest side, so hints are welcome!

and also feedback and ciritcs are welcome :)

New render update:

I'm surprised at the current result. I tried out the render techniques that we learned from 'Jens Claessens' (concept artist). (he was a special guest in our school who gave some painting workshops.)

The female face is still too deformed but i'm working it out :) and little by little I'm working out the sketch lines.

Critics and comments are more than welcome.

Tonight I'm going to start texturing the guys. I hope it will give a nice effect.
